Product details
Overview
LTC3533EDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a wide-input synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter IC designed for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline/NiMH power rails where input voltage may fall above, below, or equal to the regulated output. It delivers up to 2A continuous output current at VIN > 3V, supports 1.8V–5.5V input and 1.8V–5.25V output ranges, operates up to 2MHz switching frequency, and achieves up to 96% efficiency via synchronous rectification in handheld instrumentation and smart phone power management.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3533EDE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3533EDE#TRPBF application, or LTC3533EDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its four-switch buck-boost topology enabling seamless mode transitions, programmable Burst Mode operation (IQ = 40µA), 14-lead 3mm × 4mm DFN package with exposed thermal pad, and integrated short-circuit and thermal protection.
Technical Context
The LTC3533EDE#TRPBF implements a proprietary four-switch synchronous buck-boost architecture with continuous transfer function across buck, buck-boost, and boost regions-controlled by error amplifier output voltage (VC) and phased switch timing. Its voltage-mode PWM control loop uses external RC compensation from FB to VC, with programmable oscillator frequency (300kHz–2MHz) set by RT-to-GND resistor and automatic Burst Mode threshold set by BURST-to-GND resistor.
It integrates dual current-limit circuits: a closed-loop input current limit (4.5A typical) active during normal operation and a high-speed peak current comparator (7A typical) that disables PMOS switch A within 50ns; reverse current limiting (0.5A typical) shuts off NMOS switch D when inductor current goes negative; soft-start is implemented via RUN/SS pin clamping of VC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.4V–4.2V) and multi-cell alkaline/NiMH without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.25V - adjustable via resistive divider on FB pin; reference voltage is 1.22V ±2.3% over temperature. |
| Continuous Output Current | 2A at VIN > 3V - enables direct powering of 3.3V/1.5A system rails from 3.6V nominal battery; drops to 0.8A at VIN > 1.8V. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 2MHz - set by RT resistor; higher frequencies reduce inductor and capacitor size but increase gate charge losses. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 40µA - extends battery life in standby; enters low-power sleep cycles while maintaining regulation under light loads. |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% - achieved via synchronous NMOS/PMOS switches with RDS(ON) of 60mΩ (NMOS) and 80mΩ (PMOS). |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures minimal battery drain when disabled via RUN/SS pin <0.4V. |
| Package | 14-lead (3mm × 4mm × 0.75mm) DFN with exposed thermal pad - requires PCB soldering of pad for thermal and electrical grounding. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3533EDE#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-lead plastic DFN package (3mm × 4mm × 0.75mm) with an exposed pad (Pin 15) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal dissipation and electrical reference.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RT (Pin 1) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor from RT to GND sets switching frequency per f(kHz) = 33,170 / RT(kΩ); enables compact filter design at 2MHz. |
| BURST (Pin 2) | Automatic Burst Mode threshold control | Resistor + capacitor to GND programs load-current threshold for entering/exiting Burst Mode; grounding forces Burst Mode, connecting to VIN forces fixed-frequency PWM. |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Provides low-noise return path for FB, VC, RUN/SS, and BURST; must be separated from PGND traces to avoid noise coupling into feedback loop. |
| SW1 (Pin 4) | Switch node A/B connection | Connects internal PMOS A and NMOS B; ties to one end of inductor; optional Schottky diode to GND improves light-load efficiency during break-before-make. |
| PGND1, PGND2 (Pins 5, 6) | Power ground for NMOS switches | Low-impedance return for high-current NMOS paths (switches B and C); must be tied directly to exposed pad and thermal plane. |
| SW2 (Pin 7) | Switch node C/D connection | Connects internal NMOS C and PMOS D; ties to other end of inductor; Schottky diode to VOUT required for VOUT > 4.3V to clamp SW2 voltage. |
| VOUT (Pin 8) | Feedback sensing and internal supply | Senses regulated output via resistive divider; also powers internal circuitry from PVOUT rail; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| PVOUT (Pin 9) | Power output node | High-current output terminal connected to output capacitor; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and PGND. |
| VIN (Pin 10) | Internal bias supply | Provides VCC for control logic; powered from PVIN via internal regulator; not intended as primary power path. |
| PVIN (Pin 11) | Main input power supply | Primary high-current input terminal; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin and PGND to minimize input ripple and EMI. |
| RUN/SS (Pin 12) | Enable and soft-start control | Voltage <0.4V disables IC; >1.4V enables; >1.6V ensures error amp unclamped; RC network provides controlled ramp-up of VC for inrush current limiting. |
| FB (Pin 13) | Feedback input | Connects to resistive divider midpoint; senses output voltage against 1.22V reference; Thevenin resistance >100kΩ recommended for stable current limiting. |
| VC (Pin 14) | Error amplifier output | Drives switch duty cycle; external RC network from VC to FB sets loop compensation; internally held at optimal voltage during Burst Mode to prevent output transients. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 15) | Thermal and electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; serves as primary thermal path (θJC = 4.3°C/W) and low-impedance return for all power grounds. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF?
The LTC3533EDE#TRPBF delivers 2A continuous output current when input voltage exceeds 3V, and 0.8A when input voltage is between 1.8V and 3V. This rating assumes proper thermal management via soldered exposed pad and adequate PCB copper area. Peak switch current capability is 7A, supporting transient loads without current-limit activation under typical conditions.
How does the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF handle input voltages both above and below the output voltage?
The LTC3533EDE#TRPBF uses a four-switch synchronous buck-boost topology that dynamically phases internal PMOS and NMOS switches (A–D) to operate seamlessly in buck (VIN > VOUT), buck-boost (VIN ≈ VOUT), and boost (VIN < VOUT) modes. Transition between modes is continuous and transparent, with no output disruption or mode-hopping artifacts-enabling stable 3.3V output from a single Li-ion cell across its full 2.7V–4.2V discharge curve.
Can the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF be used with output voltages below 1.8V?
Yes-the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF can regulate down to 400mV in buck mode, but operation below 1.8V requires an external Schottky diode from SW2 to VOUT to maintain conduction path when synchronous switch D's RDS(ON) rises at low VOUT. Note that Burst Mode operation is inhibited below 1V, so fixed-frequency mode must be used for sub-1V outputs.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF package?
The exposed pad (Pin 15) on the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF serves as both thermal dissipation path (θJC = 4.3°C/W) and electrical ground reference for all power grounds (PGND1, PGND2). It must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour tied to system ground; failure to do so risks thermal shutdown under 2A load and degraded EMI performance due to uncontrolled return currents.
How is Burst Mode operation enabled and configured on the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF?
Burst Mode on the LTC3533EDE#TRPBF is configured via a resistor (RBURST) from BURST pin to GND, setting transition load current per IBURST_ENTER = 17/RBURST and IBURST_EXIT = 19/RBURST (RBURST in kΩ, IBURST in A). A parallel capacitor (≥ COUT·VOUT/60,000 µF) filters noise. Grounding BURST forces Burst Mode; connecting to VIN forces fixed-frequency PWM-enabling host-controlled efficiency optimization.
